[BLDG-SIM] eQuest color reports on some computers are black and white...

Ah evenings, who needs to go home to a family when you have eQuest to
keep you eternally occupied?  
 
Another inscrutable eQuest annoyance... we have new Dell engineering
workstations with identical (and I do mean identical) installations of
eQuest 3.60 and Adobe Acrobat 6.0 professional.  On some machines the
color reports print out unaccountably grayscaled, on others they print
as expected.
 
The apparent difference I can see in the two installations is the video
card -- the IT guys to save a few bucks bought some machines with cheap
Intel video cards, and these seem to be the ones with the problem.  Now
the reports DISPLAY just fine in color, it's just that when printed they
degrade to grayscale.
 
Does anyone know if a shortage of video card memory might be the problem
here?  In my computer experience it doesn't sound quite right, but the
cheap video cards are the only common denominator I can find among the
problematic machines.
 
 
Cheers...
